Welcome to the Accessibility Micro-Courses!

Before you begin, please take some time to review information about how this space is organized, where to get help, and how badges will be used to track your progress and completion of the micro-courses: Accessibility Micro-Course Overview

Prerequisite Courses:

Accessibility Skills Micro-Courses:

Below is a list of six micro-courses that focus on developing concrete skills to improve accessibility. Click on each to be taken to the micro-course.

Note: It is strongly recommended that you complete Accessible Word Documents prior to completing Accessible Emails and Accessible PDFs.

Accessibility Badges:

To track and recognize your progress as you move through the micro-courses, you will receive digital badges that represent your accomplishments.

Upon successful completion of each micro-course, you will receive a badge.
